Definitions

  • alarm systems have been used for alarm monitoring, which are designed to secure the outer skin (doors and windows) and to monitor the interior by means of motion, ultrasound detectors or the like.
  • the purpose of this is to visually and / or acoustically report damage or intrusion into a vehicle in good time and deter the perpetrator.
  • the intervention of auxiliary or security personnel such. B. the police depends on whether the alarm is noticed at all and whether the alarm discoverer decides to forward the alarm to the police or other emergency services.
  • the frequency of false alarms due to the currently customary alarm systems means that the alarm detectors are no longer taking the alarm seriously and criminals can no longer be deterred by a triggered alarm.
  • the currently customary alarm systems have a further disadvantage: they have to be "armed” via a special lock attached outside the vehicle after the vehicle has been locked. This results in a number of operating errors; it can be forgotten, for example, to arm the system at all or “disarm” it before unlocking the door, or the windows or sunroof are not closed when the alarm system is switched on. Operator errors are therefore inevitable.
  • the current alarm systems are also unable to detect serious accidents using a special detector and to report this to the emergency services or the police using the coordinates of the accident location.
  • the detector currently used to trigger the so-called airbag could only report an accident due to its design if the forces acting on it from the direction of travel, from behind, from the right and from the left. Forces diagonally to this or from above do not lead to a safe and false alarm-free message.
  • the documents FR-A-2 541 801 and EP-A-0 242 099 indicate systems with which the position of a vehicle is detected by satellite positioning, the position being transmitted by radio to a fixed station if the vehicle is moved without authorization .
  • the object of the invention specified in claim 1 is to provide an alarm and signaling system which excludes operating errors and which safely and without false alarms forwards theft of the vehicle to auxiliary stations and gives them more detailed information.
  • the alarm and signaling system has the advantage that a triggered alarm not only automatically reaches an auxiliary station capable of countermeasures by radio, but that the respective position of the vehicle is also transmitted at the same time so that the vehicle can be found again.
  • the position of the stolen vehicle can be determined at any time, and in the event of a break-in or accident, the corresponding position of the vehicle.
  • Another advantage is that, for example, in the event of a break-in or theft, the thief does not notice the triggering of the alarm itself, so that he may still be on Burglary can be captured.
  • the respective position of the vehicle can be determined very precisely by the satellite location. Aid stations include the police, accident rescue or other emergency services.
  • a storage device is expediently provided for storing at least the last determined position of the vehicle, so that a constant comparison is possible as to whether the position has changed.
  • means are provided for comparing positions of the vehicle recorded in time and for activating the signal device when a deviation is detected as a triggering device. This means that you can react immediately and the current position data can be included in the search via the direct connection to the stolen vehicle.
  • an alarm wire that activates when the signal device is torn off is advantageously provided as a triggering device, which is arranged in the closing or hinge area of at least one container or room to be secured and / or to secure a container wall that overlaps it at close intervals.
  • a container can be the engine compartment and / or the trunk and / or the glove compartment and / or a value container in the trunk.
  • the radio alarm is triggered and the respective vehicle position is given. It can also be triggered using a switch.
  • At least one is to be anchored of the closing or hinge area serving screw or a bolt supported at a predetermined breaking point, which is provided with the alarm wire or whose breaking triggers the switch.
  • a distance is provided between the predetermined breaking point and the two parts connected by the screw or the bolt when the predetermined breaking point of the screw is broken. If an attempt is made to break out, the predetermined breaking point breaks first and the alarm is triggered safely. Then the mechanical part of the detector is anchored again, so that the perpetrator has to start again, whereby he is now opposed to a higher resistance. This ties him up in time and gives the police more time to reach the crime scene.
  • a hidden emergency switch can also be provided as a triggering device. This is especially important for taxi drivers if they are mugged. By actuating the emergency switch, the radio alarm is triggered and the position of the vehicle is given without the perpetrator noticing.
  • a delay sensor which responds to a predefinable delay can also be expediently provided as a triggering device.
  • This deceleration sensor expediently has a mass which can be moved in the horizontal plane and / or upwards and is held only by an electrically conductive predetermined breaking element and is therefore prevented from moving.
  • the predetermined breaking element breaks and triggers the radio alarm, for example in the event of an accident or in the event of another vehicle colliding strongly with the secured parked vehicle. Even in such a case, the police are then automatically informed by radio about the location of the accident.
  • a key switch or coding switch which is in particular a magnetically or electronically coded switch, is expediently used to switch the system on or off.
  • This key switch or coding switch can expediently be designed simultaneously as an operating switch (ignition key) for the vehicle or contained therein. This ensures that when the ignition key is removed, the system is automatically armed so that accidental forgetting of arming is excluded.
  • the vehicle owner also does not need to arm the alarm system separately and is not under time pressure when leaving the vehicle, as is sometimes the case with known alarm systems. Likewise, he does not have to pay particular attention to the alarm and signaling system when the vehicle is restarted, since it is automatically switched off again.
  • An exception is expediently only a delay sensor and an emergency switch or pushbutton, which remain activated even when the operating switch is switched on, in order to be able to report an accident or emergency.
  • At least two locating and transmitting antennas are expediently provided at different locations on the vehicle, so that the system remains operational in the event of possible detection and damage or removal by the burglar.
  • a predeterminable area information storage device can also be provided as the triggering device, the memory content of which is continuously or periodically compared with the position data of the locating device in a test device, the signal device being activated when unauthorized areas are detected becomes.

  • the principle is that a current is sent through a line to be monitored and the current flow is monitored, which is determined, for example, by a resistance in the line. If the line is interrupted or short-circuited by triggering a trigger device 3, 4, 5, 11, a trigger signal for the alarm is generated.

In contrast, when the ignition key 31 is actuated correctly, the switch 12 is open and the system is deactivated. However, this deactivation only means that a change of location and actuation of the triggering devices 5 and 11 no longer lead to the triggering of a radio alarm.
